NIH3T3_volume_data: Volume distribution data for NIH3T3 cell cultures

Description

Volume distribution data for NIH3T3 cell cultures under standard culture conditions

Usage

data(NIH3T3_volume_data)

Format

The data is formated as 4 numeric vectors of length 257 representing cell volume (\(\mu m^3\)) distributions, namely "NIH3T3\_a", "NIH3T3\_b", "NIH3T3\_c", and "NIH3T3\_d".

The estimated cell cycle time (\(h\)) for each volume distribution dataset is indicated in the numeric objects "tNIH3T3\_a", "tNIH3T3\_b", "tNIH3T3\_c", and "tNIH3T3\_d".

The object "volumes\_nih3t3" is a numeric vector representing the volumes (\(\mu m^3\)) associated with all of the distributions.
